My Question or Issue

I'm having issues when sharing a song to instagram stories, it shows on the Spotify app but when I try to post it to my Instagram Story it doesn't show the canvas, only the artwork and the name of the song on a solid background. I've cleared the cache on both apps and have also uninstalled/installed both apps, the issue persists. I've attached a short video of the issue

My Question or Issue

When attempting to share song on my Instagram story, the motion canvas will load on the Spotify app, but will NOT load on the Instagram app. Instead of the canvas background, the Instagram story background is just a solid color with the album cover. I've attempted to clean rest both apps (Spotify and Instagram), have deleted/redownloaded/logged in again to both apps, and have restarted my device, but all attempts at solving the issue have not worked. Upon further research online, it seems other folks are having this issue too. Please advise. I've attached photos to this report as well to show the issue.

Same issue here, also reinstalled both apps with no luck.

Noticed that the background video stopped showing up on instagram stories after the latest sharing design update (IOS 15.7.8).

The same issue appears in other users‘ stories too.

Same Here tried every suggestion !!

Same problem here!!!

I also have this issue!

Same issue here. Been scouring around and haven't found a viable fix yet. 

Same issue here on Android. I'm thinking this must be a broken API issue.

My Question or Issue

So in-app, my Spotify video player works just fine, and when I hit the share button and it previews the video behind the song graphic, I can see it. When I hit “instagram stories,” Instagram’s preview (like in the Instagram app) does not have the video background and I can’t figure out why. This randomly stopped working a week ago (Sept 😎 and I can’t figure out why!
